2 New host
Overview
In this section you will learn how to set up a new host.
A host in Zabbix is a networked entity (physical, virtual) that you wish to monitor. The definition of what can
be a “host” in Zabbix is quite flexible. It can be a physical server, a network switch, a virtual machine or some
application.
Adding host
Information about configured hosts in Zabbix is available in Configuration → Hosts. There is already one predefined host, called 'Zabbix server', but we want to learn adding another.
To add a new host, click on Create. This will present us with a host configuration form.
The bare minimum to enter here is:
Host name
Enter a host name. Alpha-numericals, spaces and underscores are allowed.
Groups
Select one or several groups from the right hand side selectbox and click on « to move them to the 'In
groups' selectbox.
